Customer Review: Great Gifts for young people
This is absolutely one of the best gifts for young people. I got one for my nephew and he keeps thanking me everytime i see him. My sister is however a little bit worried that this thing takes up too much of his time.
Customer Review: Best Console!
This is one of the best consoles around. It is basically a smaller, cheaper version of the playstation 3 and has almost all the capabilites of what the bigger console can do. Obviously the graphics are not quite the same (but better than the DS) and does not have motion sensitive controllers etc. However the advantages are endless it’s portable, cheaper, take pictures (camera needed), store movies, games, music, photos, go on the internet and many more. If you want you can buy a peice of software to allow it to be played through the T.V. The advantages are endless. This console is certainly better than the DS due to it’s capabilities sure it does’nt have a touch screen but that is all the DS has over it. When connected with the PS3 it becomes the deadly duo and makes many more opportunities arrise like for a racing game you can use the PSP as a mirror. Overall the functions and possibilities on this console are endless and is well worth buying especially if you have a playstation 3.
